[Takamura-San]

I need more than a logo to be exited.

Hope it turns out great.

 

[XandBosch]

Now would be a good time to remaster the first 3 games. Get Tantalus or something.

Yeet

 

[Saya]

Nintendo today

TEASER



HOLY SHIT

It's happening.gif

 

[Two Words]

How could they not have had more ready to show at this stage?

 

[beelzebozo]

this is awesome news.

 

[Kthulhu]

There will hopefully be optional pointer controls. I will end up playing mostly that way when the console is docked.

How would that work without a Wii remote. Give me optional gyro controls instead.

 

[Omega Kirby]

Ubisoft : " This E3 is ours"

Nintendo: Nope

 

[SporeCrawler]

guys if this sells (which it wont) maybe there will be super metroid remake on switch?

 

[SmackAttack]

Pretty sure my heart skipped a beat. I can't believe it, I screamed.

METROID PRIME 4, LADS

Which it won't? This will sell like fuckin' crazy.

 

[Jorok Goldblade]

How could they not have had more ready to show at this stage?

Tanabe said at E3 2015 that there wasn't a Prime game in development, and I believe him. I honestly think the backlash against Federation Force prompted Nintendo to approve both Prime 4 and Samus Returns.

They probably won't have anything worth showing for another six months at least.

 

[Kthulhu]

How could they not have had more ready to show at this stage?

They didn't need to. Tons of stuff is already coming out this year, not to mention they will probably announce more in future directs.

The gyro is used as a 'pointer' like World of Goo on Switch.

The options for gyro and traditional twin-stick would be proper for most people. Although I'm one of those who thinks GC-era camera controls were among the worst ever...

 

[Elfotografoalocado]

They are doing the same they did with Prime in 2002... Release a 2D portable game, then the home console one, in the context of a Metroid comeback.

 

[CLBridges]

Nintendo with the bomb! I'm interested.

 

[titiklabingapat]

Pretty sure my heart skipped a beat. I can't believe it, I screamed.

METROID PRIME 4, LADS

It's an HD gritty action adventure on the Switch. It's for a series that definitely could benefit from the horsepower of the Switch. It could be a breakout hit if Nintendo does it right.

 

[RdN]

Is Retro making it?

 

[Sponge]

Fuck youuu

Just because Rare couldn't make a good 3D DK game doesn't mean Retro can't. Throw out what DK64 did and try something new.

 

[Kthulhu]

The options for gyro and traditional twin-stick would be proper for most people. Although I'm one of those who thinks GC-era camera controls were among the worst ever...

I liked them at the time, but shooters have changed a lot in the last 15 years. Prime needs a new control scheme. Twin sticks are practically mandatory.

 

[OricWindstar]

Is Retro making it?

Nintendo in Kyoto. (According to Cheesemeister)

 

[Soul Lab]

Man if this is developed inhouse. I can imagine amazing hd rumble implementation.

 

[Paltheos]

GAME OVER, MAN! GAME FUCKING OVER!
I'm in. Immediately. Where do I sign up? I have not wanted anything this badly in years. I was afraid this day would never come. I thought... with Other M, the dream was dead, and with Federation Force, we were just an afterthought. Like Breath of Fire. But no. It's real. IT LIVES! WE'RE IN THERE!

 

[Lunar15]

Nintendo in Kyoto.

That hasn't been confirmed yet, has it?

The tweet cheesmeister refers to says "may be".

 

[Barry Burton]

They are doing the same they did with Prime in 2002... Release a 2D portable game, then the home console one, in the context of a Metroid comeback.

And it's how it always should have come back. Still don't know what they were thinking with Federation Force.

 

[Euron]

Ok so I might get a Switch now

 

[Tripon]

Retro Studios helped usher Metroid into the third dimension with the Metroid Prime series, but they aren’t working on Metroid Prime 4.

Nintendo wouldn’t say who exactly is working on this new first-person adventure, but senior product marketing manager of Nintendo of America Bill Trinen said that Nintendo designer and producer Kensuke Tanabe is helping lead the project alongside a “A talent new development team.” Tanabe previously worked as a producers on the first three Prime games as well as newer releases like Paper Mario: Color Splash and Donkey Kong Country Returns, so hopefully Metroid Prime 4 is in good hands

[Sandfox]

GameInformer tweeted that the game is being made by a "talented new development team".

[poussi]

Eurogamer also reporting this isn't being made by Retro http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2017-06-12-metroid-prime-4-in-development-for-nintendo-switch

 

[OricWindstar]

That hasn't been confirmed yet, has it?

Apparently not confirmed confirmed. I updated my original post.

I kind of hope that's the case, though. I want Metroid Prime, but I also want Retro do something new. Best of both worlds, maybe.

 

[Ho_su]

I liked them at the time, but shooters have changed a lot in the last 15 years. Prime needs a new control scheme. Twin sticks are practically mandatory.

Motion controlls

Anyway Switch will have the two options like Splatoon 2

new team

 

[Djostikk]

Haven't played any Metroid Prime, but I'm really happy for those people who've been waiting for it all these years.

 

[zackmorris]

Hopefully they give a way to play the original trilogy on the switch.

Yikes..still hyped

 

[BRSxIgnition]

WHO IS MAKING IT!?!?!???????????


HYPE!

Metroid Prime producer Kensuke Tanabe is still aboard and heading MP4 with Nintendo Kyoto.

Yikes..still hyped

All of the heads of the series from Retro had left anyway - so this is probably the better option.

 

[DecoReturns]

New Talented Development team.

Interesting, exciting to see

new team

I'll keep an open mind. Hopefully this new team can deliver. I'm just happy that Nintendo's expanding their staff.

 

[Yonafunu]

I can't believe we still don't know what Retro's working on. Fucking hilarious.

;_;

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

So it's not Retro but we don't know who's making it other than Tanabe is producing.

 

[titiklabingapat]

New team means new concepts and design. Hype!! It's high time Nintendo start expanding again. They are going to need it.


But what the hell has Retro been working on?

 

[Barry Burton]

https://twitter.com/gameinformer/status/874680425230282754

new team

Totally okay with this.

We're getting a new Metroid Prime AND a new game from Retro Studios (whether that's another DKC or a different IP). That is pretty awesome news.

 

[Alienous]

Does this team not know how to make a teaser trailer?

 

[SpokkX]

Holy shit!!!

Never thought this would actually happen

Now please give us the prime trilogy on switch

 

[Not]

http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/...loped-by-a-talented-new-development-team.aspx

Please, if there's a fleshed-out story, find some progressive writers for the love of Christ

 

[Kikorin]

Wow, no Retro? So we are getting a third Donkey Kong masterpiece too?

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

I mean, as long as it's not Team Ninja and Nintendo's making it in-house, I'll stay hyped

and if true, Retro working on a new DK is not exactly bad news
